3. Before the Sun, that is (according to others) before the Sun shines too hot upon him, before the Sun scorches and withers him;1 as if he had said, The hypocrite is a green tree, till the heat comes upon him, till the Sun ariseth in his strength: but as soon as the heat of the day, or the year comes, this tree withers. An hypocrite cannot abide the extreme heat of the Sun, whereas the godly have such an everlasting supply of moisture and sap, that let the Sun shine as hot as it will upon them, they are green still. The ordinary heat of the Sun is put for prosperity: the extreme heat of the Sun, is put for persecution. So, the meaning may be this, He is green before the Sun, that is, before the Sun of trouble and persecution ariseth, or (as some render it) before God looks angerly upon him and scorcheth his leaves, till then, He is green and flourishing. Before refers both to time, and presence.
